About Barnaul Airport

Overview

Barnaul Airport serves the Altai Krai region in southwestern Siberia, Russia, operating as a medium-sized airport located at an elevation of 837 feet MSL. Situated at coordinates 53.363800, 83.538498, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the city of Barnaul and surrounding areas, supporting regional and potentially limited international commercial and cargo operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Barnaul Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating 63% of observed periods. Pilots can expect challenging winter conditions, with temperature ranges spanning from -37°C to 25°C and an average temperature of -3.7°C. Marginal Visual Flight Rules (MVFR) conditions occur in 22.7% of observations, indicating potential need for increased weather awareness and potential alternate planning.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway (06/24) measuring 9,350 feet in length, capable of accommodating medium-sized aircraft. Its Siberian location suggests potential terrain complexities and significant seasonal weather transitions, which pilots should carefully consider during flight planning and execution.

Approach Considerations

With predominantly calm wind conditions and a single runway orientation, pilots should prepare for standard approach procedures. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility, though fog is present in approximately 2.1% of observations. September, October, and January statistically offer the most stable Visual Flight Rules conditions for operations.
